Damascus Woman's Ranch Knife

[Dale Baxter]

Here is a Damascus Ranch Knife I just finished for a woman who owns a Gyr Falcon, she wanted something that would remind her of Morgan (her falcon).
What I did was grind some of Morgan's feathers into dust and added it to the flux for the Damascus. So, Morgans soul is a part of the steel now. I forged the blade to resemble a wing in flight, I think I got fairly close?

The handle is Purpleheart and the furniture is German Silver. The blade length is 4" (OAL 8"), Damascus is 260 layers of 1095/203-e/pure nickle and Gyr Falcon.

Thanks for looking,

That should keep her happy. I'd be happy with it and I don't even own a falcon. Great job.

I really like the concept and the story. Lovely looking knife with a lot of thought put into it. Jason.

Thanks for the kind words,
I try to keep my knives unique and this was something special for both her and I.
